I live in the South Bay and work in the East Bay. Even though I take BART every morning, I drive a lot more than I should. My day begins with a 30 minute drive to Fremont where I then hop on BART and take the Richmond train to 12th Street. Total time spent traveling: 90 minutes. Total commute a day? 3 hours!

So why am I taking this challenge you ask????
1. I am taking this challenge to raise awareness about the challenges of public transportation. 3 hours is no bueno. My goal is to reduce my weekly mileage of 200 to 100. Although it most likely will increase my commuting time, I realize it's a challenge many members of our community face on a daily basis.
2. Help reduce carbon emissions.
3. Raise funds for a super cool organization that is working hard to create world class transportation and walkable communities.
4. Challenge myself to drive less and live more!

So please support me and help our current public transportation systems and Communities.

Cheers!
